ELECTRIC TROLLING MOTOR MOUNTING
There are two main styles of trolling motors: manual steer and electric steer. The proper mounting method depends
on the style of trolling motor.
Mounting to Electric Steer Motors
1. Position the transducer on the bottom side of the motor housing close to the center of the steering rotation.
2. Attach the transducer to the motor using the supplied cable tie.
3. Secure the cable to the lower-most part of the vertical motor shaft.
4. Run the cable through the carry handle on the motor’s steering drive motor. (If your motor does not have this, you’ll
need to come up with an “eye” to keep the cable in place as you stow and deploy the motor.)
5. Secure the cable near the motor’s head at the top of the vertical shaft.
6. Route the cable down through the “coil cord” and out to your flasher’s mounting location.
7. Stow and deploy the motor to insure the cable can move freely with the motor, and that it cannot get pinched in any of
the motor workings.
Mounting to Manual Steer Motors
1. Position the transducer on the bottom side of the motor housing close to the center of the steering rotation.
2. Attach the transducer to the motor using the supplied cable tie.
3. Secure the cable to the lower-most part of the vertical motor shaft.
4. Route the cable up the shaft, securing it every three or four inches using cable ties or electrical tape. Be sure to leave a
loop near the section where the two vertical shafts meet to allow for motor rotation.
5. Route along the motor’s mounting bracket and out to your flasher’s mounting location.
6. Stow and deploy the motor to insure the cable can move freely with the motor, and that it cannot get pinched in
any of the motor workings.
